Default Make me feel better! Please

I am having my stock LS6 heads milled 24 thousandths. I just want re-assurance that this will put me at 60cc. (.006" per cc X4). I am installing them with stock head gaskets. I am shooting for 11:1 cr or something close and not have to flycut the pistons. My Cam is 226 dur / .850lift 112lsa +3.
If I am wrong, please sing out so I can modify my plans before having to modify something else.
Thanks


DD

I believe if you mill the heads u will need to flycut pistons. I would perform the clay method to be safe.
